Summary

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where an unprivileged user can write to read-only memory because the memory's permissions are not preserved. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution and escalation of privileges.
